"We will not be silent."

I plan to do a post about my vacation but it needs to wait until Wednesday, because today is the release date for Resist by my friend Emily Ann Putzke.

I had the chance to read and review this book, It has become one of my all time favorites and I'm so excited it is finally being released!!

Emily is hosting a blog party, which I'm joining in. I will be sharing her book trailer, which is fantastic!

Unfortunately, I've tried as many ways as I know how, and I can't get the video to pull up on my blog. So I am going to have to leave the link. You will want to click it though, you'll love the trailer. You will definitely want to see it!!!!!!!!! https://player.vimeo.com/video/153260429?byline=0&portrait=0

Sorry. I liked the trailer so much - the words of it and the...tribute it pays to the people in WWII - that I saved it (please tell me now if I shouldn't. It's not posted yet so I can delete it still). But, I figured out how to embed the link within the post on blogger, which it looks like you have.

Get the embed link for the video from Vimeo, and then paste it into the HTML view of the post draft. If that makes sense.... There's the 'compose' view and then an 'html' tab beside it, and if you past the embed code into HTML then when the post is changed back, the video shows up as a video and not text.

Do you want to leave a comment? Come on, it will be fun. I want to get to know you and know why you stopped by my site. Don't worry if you don't know what to say, I will reply with something fun. Do you want to leave a comment? It doesn't have to be a long one.

Brothers-in-Arms

Can a Jew and a Nazi survive Hitler's Germany?
Franz Kappel and Japhet Buchanan never expected their friendship to be tested by the Third Reich. Friends from early childhood, the boys form an inseparable, brotherly bond. Growing up in a little German village, they escape most of the struggles of war until the day Japhet is banished from school for being a Jew, and later has a rib broken when other village boys beat him up. Franz learns he is putting himself in danger for spending so much time with Japhet but continues to stand up for his Jewish friend even at the risk to himself. Then one day their lives are shattered when they see first-hand that the price of being a Jew is dangerously high.
With the war now on their doorsteps, Franz and Japhet come up with a desperate plan to save their families and get them out of Germany alive. Leaving behind the lives they've always known, they move into Berlin with nothing to protect them but forged papers and each other. Convinced their friendship can keep them going, the boys try and make a new life for themselves while trying to keep their true identities and Japhet's heritage a secret. Taking his best friend's safety upon himself, Franz joins the Nazis in an attempt to get valuable information. At the same time, Japhet joins the Jewish Resistance, neither friend telling the other of their new occupations.
With everyone in their world telling them a Nazi and a Jew can't be friends, it is only a matter of time before they believe all the lies themselves, until neither is certain if they are fighting against a race of people or fighting for their homeland. Somehow they have to survive the horrors of World War II, even when all of Germany seems to be against them.
